The New office smelled amazing as Archer breathed in the new smell. He had specifically asked for a new office.Much to the surprise of the board, he saw the respect on their faces when they refused to voice it out.He wanted to create some memories that would resonate in the company, staying in Madison’s office was just not it.Besides, he wasn't here to replace her. She made her mark and now, it was time to make his.This was his space now, everything screams him, from the heavy desk to the classic file cabinet and the ensuite bathroom.“If only Madison could see me now…”The door opened and Archer stopped abruptly, his brows furrowed when he saw the frown resting heavily on Maxfield’s face.“What happened?” Archer asked in a surprised tone.It was weird to see the man so pissed off, he was usually calm and collected even in outrageous situations.“I cannot believe them!” Maxfield yelled.Archer took a step back in surprise, his eyes wide as he stared at the older men. He was acting

Madison paced the new office as she waited for Archer to come back.She was directed here when she came in to look for him and the surprise on her face was just something else.He got a new office, amazing.Her head snapped up when she saw him walking inside while looking at a file, she grinned at the seriousness on his face.“Working hard, I see.” she teased.Archer swore as he dropped the papers to the ground out of shock, his hand flying up to tame his chest.“You scared me,”“My bad,” Madison said with a shrug.Archer glared at her, she didn't look sorry.“What brings you here?” he asked as he walked inside.“It's been a week since you took over temporarily and haven't heard from you,” she said.“I know, I have been busy with the things I had to get to before I took the sea permanently.”Madison waved him away, “I don't mean like that, I meant about your shares.”Archer paused at that, he quickly crossed over to Madison with eyes wide open,“Are you crazy? Never bring that up in h

Archer looked on nervously, he checked his watch and sighed when he realized he was right on time.He was set to meet the international representative of the worldwide networking company, Globus.They had been talking via emails since and Archer decided it was time they met. The representative, Mr Davide, was quite eager to do so.So, Archer had set up a meeting in a neutral place for them, he called in a favor from a friend of his.But so far, he was the only one here.His thoughts came to a screeching halt when a sharp man dressed in a suit strolled into the restaurant accompanied by a woman whom Archer assumed was the secretary.The man came to a stop at the table the hostess directed him to.“Mr Davide, welcome.” Archer greeted.The man nodded his head, “thank you for the warm welcome, Archer.”Archer turned to the woman and smiled at her but she ignored him. He took it in stride.“I am sorry I am late, we encountered traffic on the road.” Davide apologized.“It's okay. I should h

Ferguson rolled his eyes as they brought Dean out for him, he was just doing this because Hailey asked him to.Dean was just one loose end he was waiting to tie up.“Why do you look like that?” he asked Dean.Dean froze mid-sitting and leveled Ferguson with a puzzled look.“Did you look good when you were in jail?” he questioned back.“Touche,” Ferguson said.Dean lifted a brow at the older man, “Please tell me you have come with some type of good news.” he urged.Ferguson grinned, “Of course.”Dean leaned in, excited to hear something but the words that came out from Ferguson’s lips were not what he expected.“I have a better chance of taking over since that fool is crippled. Very soon, I would have the board eating out of my palm.” Dean looked on, amazed at the words he was hearing. He wished Ferguson could take them back but the old fool just prattled on, unaware of the storm that was brewing.“Really?” he asked in disbelief.Ferguson paused, but he waved Dean off again.“You didn

Archer smiled when the call came in, he took his sweet time before he answered it.“Who Is this?” he asked,“Please help me,” Dean pleaded.“Excuse me?”“It's me, Dean. I am ready to talk.”Archer leaned back in his seat, “I am a little disappointed, I thought you were going to hold out for much longer. You were pretty determined to do so.”“I am being serious,”“I have neither the time nor the energy to entertain this call. Goodbye.”“Wait, wait!” Dean yelled.Archer grinned, he was enjoying this a little bit too much. “Yes?”“Ferguson came to see me and I think you will be interested in knowing what he has to say.”Archer perked up, he secretly clicked on the recording on his phone to get everything Dean would say.“What makes you think I am interested?” he asked Dean.“You are looking to take him down, I have information.”“Where was this information when I needed it?” Archer asked.“I wouldn't be calling you if I wasn't desperate, Archer. It's what you intended in the first place

Archer looked up just as Ferguson barged into his office. He dropped the file he was holding on the desk because he was startled.“How dare you?” he yelled.Archer wheeled his chair calmly around his desk and stared down at Ferguson.“The next time you barge into my office without knocking, security would throw you out on your ass.” Ferguson scoffed, “And who is going to give them the order?” he asked.“It seems like you are forgetting your place, old man. You don't have a say here and you do not have a stand in this company.” Archer reminded him.Ferguson was fuming, “That’s bull. It's a good thing to know that the power is getting to your head.”Archer shrugged, “Maybe, but unless you want to find out then I suggest you don't disrespect such power.”“You talk a lot for someone who is in power.”“Yet I managed to put you in jail. Tell me, did you enjoy your time there?” Archer taunted.Ferguson’s nose flared and he clenched his fist. He gave Archer a bright smile.“I heard you visit

The conference room was tense as Archer surveyed every one of them in thereHe had yet to figure out why he had been called there. So far so good, he had not done anything out of the ordinary He has executed his tasks perfectly and has had no complaints so far. It didn't miss Archer that this was an ambush seeing as Maxfield wasn't seated.Archer had called the man to inform him of the board meeting, he had agreed to record the conversation just in case.He wasn't surprised when Ferguson entered the room and sat down. Archer chuckled,“You have been in here more times than when you were a board member.”“We are not here to crack jokes,” Ferguson snapped.Archer raised a brow, “We are not? You could have fooled me.”When nobody answered him and just kept staring, Archer stared at Ferguson.“Then what are we here for then?”Someone cleared their throat and Archer turned his attention towards them, it was one of the older board members.“Archer, first of all, I would like to applaud you

“I am telling you, man. They are out for me.”Archer settled into the chair opposite Sylvester as the other handed him a bottle of beer.“Tell me what happened,”Archer sighed, “The minute I was given a phone call instead of the regular email, I knew something was wrong,I went to the meeting and after they were done buttering me up, they attacked.”“What do you mean they buttered you up?” Sylvester asked,“They were singing praises about my work so far but I knew they were just bull. They wanted to disarm me. After then, they said they couldn't have a crippled man as their CEO. Ferguson was right after all.”“Fuck if he is,” Sylvester swore.Archer looked on with amusement as he took a sip of his drink.“They are all turning against me. Talking about respect for my grandfather like he wouldn't be turning in his grave at their actions.” he chuckled.“I am so pissed. I can't imagine how you feel right now.”“I don't feel anything. I am just waving them away. They can complain all they

Archer didn’t think he would ever see someone surprise him but he had to fight right now to pick his jaw off the floor.“Your father?” He mused and turned to Madison, “I thought you didn’t have parents,”“You sound surprised, boy. Looks like you have seen a ghost,” Royal teased him.Madison looked at the both of them suspiciously, “I don’t know him but my mother showed me a picture of him before she left me. I can’t ever forget his face,” her eyes narrowed, “do you know each other?”“Something like that,” Archer said as he rubbed his temple.He didn’t think in his wildest dreams that Royal would look for him too soon much less on his engagement. He gritted his teeth at that.“Perfect, now that you didn’t seek to get my blessings, what are we going to do about that?” Royal asked.Madison’s hand slipped away from Archer’s as she advanced on her father with that fury in her eyes, “blessings? You want him to ask for your blessings when you have never been a father to me? What crack are yo

It wasn’t surprising to hear the words come out of his mouth. He knew he wanted to marry her a long time ago but now that he said it, he was so sure. The tightening in his chests disappeared and his arch nemesis became the least of his problems as he processed the best way to make Madison agree to marry him. Archer remembered standing up and walking away, leaving Damien sitting there. He remembered entering the car and driving back to his hotel. The rest was so blur and before he knew it, he was back in his house. Under the shower to gather his thoughts, he had Royal after him and now, he wanted to make Madison fully his. Despite their ups and downs, he had never stopped loving her. She was meant for him and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Damien hummed in response, “I see. I have heard of him but we haven’t crossed paths,” “Yeah, he is always careful not to be seen all the time. He is like a ghost.” “It looks like your old buddy is looking for you, I don’t know why though.” Kei said. Archer shook his head, “I know why, I stole from him years ago.” “You did what?” Damien almost yelled. Archer shrugged, “it’s not much but to him it’s a sign of disrespect. I had to survive and the best way to do it was with a little help,” “What happened to you?” Kei asked, “I was under the impression that you magically blew into a rich heir overnight,” “I wish that was true,” Archer scoffed, “I did things I wasn’t proud of but I don’t regret anything. I was a child with no parents and no money, I had no problems stealing even if it meant I don’t starve to death.” “We are not judging you, Archer. I didn’t get to where I am right now without a little sin or two. I am just curious as to why you didn’t stay with him,” Damien

Nine year old Archer walked along the streets, hungry and tired. His eyes were drooping close like he might drop down on the dirty floor. For days, he had walked this alleyway. Searching for something to eat, anything at all. The only money he had was left for emergency in case he fell sick which he wasn’t far from right now. He stopped beside a dumpster and leaned his head against it, just five minutes and he would be alright. His eyes closed but not before he begged for a savior, the saying be careful what you wish for was right in that sense. A boot kicked him after an hour and his eyes flew open, there in front of him were three men with snarls on their faces. It didn’t register at first till Archer sat up quickly, bumping his head against the dumpster and wincing. The men looked at me before they burst into laughter, “look what we found, did a cat get lost?” “No, I just wanted to sleep,” Archer had said. They frowned before one reached out and slapped him, the force o

Archer and Damien gaped at the Korean heir like he was out of his mind. Kei just continued to sip his tea like he didn’t just drop a bomb on them.“I am sorry, what?” Archer asked just to be sure.“I said, he was acting on my orders. You don’t think there would be an imposter running around without my knowledge, that would be a bad look on me,”“So, you sent him to me?” Archer questioned.Damien was still looking between them, “Kei, what is this?”“I couldn’t help myself. I was curious to know about the friend you sang praises for, and since I had to test him, that’s why I sent him?”Archer chuckled, “this is crazy. This is fucking crazy, I cannot believe you are testing me. What do you have to test me for? If you were tired of hearing about me from Damien , then you should have asked him to stop talking about me.”Kei shook his head, “way before that, I have always heard about you. I knew we would do business together but I needed to be sure that I could trust you and finding a way t

Settled in a nice hotel, Archer took a shower and tried to relax. The brunch was tomorrow and he needed his wits to get through it.His phone rang and he picked it up, smiling already.“Why the hell have you been ignoring me?” Madison barked.She was pacing in her office and mad out of her mind at the sort of prank her boyfriend was pulling. She was tempted to fly out there and give him a piece of her mind but she had work to do.She had a reason for staying back here like she said.“Madison, I have been on a flight for hours and only just got to the hotel, I am exhausted,”“You are, aren’t you? What made you so tired? The girl giving you a blow job?”“Was it? I don’t remember,”“Archer, that isn’t funny. Please tell me you are joking,”“Come to New York and find out then,” he taunted.Madison chuckled, “all this because I said I wasn’t coming? You are acting like a baby,”“Okay, if you say so. I am sure the hostess that followed me to my room disagrees with me. But sure, anything you

It didn’t take long for Damien to contact Archer for the brunch. Archer was on his way to New York to meet with them. All his meetings have been canceled and his schedule cleared, he wanted to meet the man before he could begin his investigations. Archer frowned when he noticed new hostesses on his private plane, he didn’t notice that Lydia had hired new people. He made himself comfortable and frowned when one sauntered up to him with a sultry smile, “Can I get you anything, sir?” Archer nodded, “a bottle of water, please.” She nodded and walked away, returning with a bottle of water and ice. She leaned a little too closely to pour it for him. Archer leaned back when the scent of her perfume wafted into his nose. He scrunched his face and waited, “Would that be all?” She asked with that same smile. “Yes,” She walked away. He took out his laptop and started working. He had a conference call scheduled with an investor. Just a minute more to go. The laptop screen came alive an

Archer made good on his word.The next morning, he went straight to Madison’s company and into Benedict’s office. The man was bent over his desk reading something and mumbling to himself.Archer was glad there was no receptionist to announce his visits so he snuck in to the office and leaned against the wall.He wondered what got the man’s attention that he didn’t notice that someone was with him.“Nice view,” he said.Benedict shot up so fast with wide eyes when he saw Archer standing there, his face shuttered with anger as he glared at his visitor.“What the hell are you doing here and how did you bypass security?” He demanded. Archer rolled his eyes, “you are kidding me, right? You have forgotten who owned the company first, I am no stranger here which is why I know you were not part of the executives I had before,”He walked to the desk and sat down , Benedict slowly lowered himself back to his chair.“What do you want?”“I want to know how well you know your son to think I kille
